Darbar offre une cuisine indienne authentique et raffinée où chaque plat est préparé avec soin à partir d’ingrédients frais, et les saveurs y sont décrites comme explosives et parfaitement équilibrées; le cadre intime et chaleureux, avec une ambiance cosy en hiver et un patio agréable en été, invite à la conversation et à la dégustation, des soirées avec une touche de jazz ayant aussi été saluées; le service est généralement chaleureux, attentif et personnalisable, avec des recommandations adaptées aux tolérances et régimes alimentaires, et l’équipe n’hésite pas à venir à table ou à ajuster les plats; beaucoup considèrent Darbar comme le meilleur restaurant indien de Montréal, voire une perle cachée, et citent des plats phares tels que dal makhani, murgh tikka masala, nihari et bhindi bhaji, ainsi que les naans et des options véganes ou sans gluten appréciées; des retours mentionnent aussi des expériences mémorables grâce à l’implication personnelle du chef et parfois l’ajout d’un groupe live, quelques avis notant un service plus lent en période d’affluence, mais l’ensemble demeure largement positif, soulignant le rapport qualité-prix, l’authenticité et l’esprit familial de l’établissement.
My friends & I love to try a new restaurant each month, & we chose Darbar as our pick for October. Let me tell you it didn't disappoint.
Not only did each dish surpass our expectations, it was so nice to hear the back stories of each dish from Chef Simar himself. & the ambiance was absolutely delicious! & the cutie photo of his parents on the take-out box, so wholesome.
We had the butter chicken, lentil soup, & thali, & for dessert, we tried the gulab jamun & rasmalai, everything was absolutely delicious! The chef personally came to our table to introduce himself & checked in a few times to make sure everything was perfect. I really appreciated that. We'll definitely be coming back!

Myself & my partner came here for dinner a little later in the night, & we had an amazing time. Our server was the best, he was friendly, & made sure to answer any questions we had about the menu. The food was delicious. I would recommend anyone to eat here. DAIRY FREE & GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS!
Yesterday I went to this restaurant & the food was really good, the staffs were really respectful they took good care of us & me & family enjoyed it & had fun
I sapori di ogni piatto erano perfettamente bilanciati, il pollo cotto alla perfezione.Il personale ha fatto di tutto per rendere memorabile la nostra esperienza culinaria. Sono stati attenti senza essere invadenti.
Il servizio è stato impeccabile. I nostri bicchieri non erano mai vuoti e il cibo è arrivato prontamente.Mi è piaciuto molto l'ambiente intimo e accogliente di questo posto.Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo! Le porzioni erano generose e il gusto eccezionale..I propietari super gentili, simpatici. Rimarrete nel nostro ❤?
Food was unbelievable, one of the best indian food i've ever had. Its was full of flavors & the presentation was original. Also, the chef was very hospitable & nice to us.
I found the tables were inconvenient (too small) for the amount of food on the table, & the service was a bit laggy but I also understand that it's a very small location & we got in very late, 1 hour before their close.
Overall a great experience, would recommend to everyone!
I've been going to Darbar since before the pandemic. Amazing every time. When the dad was running it & now when the son has taken over: still just as excellent. Family business with very reasonable prices. Such nice people & great attention. Food is delicious. The chef comes & talks & listens to every table. Another wonderful evening.
This time, we had the vegetarian thali, bhindi bhaji, garlic naan, tamarin & cumin lassi, & a Taj Mahal. We ordered way too much a as always because everything looks & smells so good. Had a good-sized doggy bag after stuffing ourselves.
I came here for a girls' night dinner, & honestly, everything was perfect. The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the service ; so friendly, attentive, & genuine. It's rare to find a restaurant that still has that personal touch, where you feel truly welcomed & cared for. Darbar is one of those rare gems.
Super bonne bouffe! On a pris un daal, il était super. Les drinks étaient très bon aussi. Le serveur était bon, belle pratique du français & conseil avisé! S'adaptant à nos contrainte alimentaire (vegan). Le patio est un peu croche sinon, maia le reste, je vous recommande!
One of the best curries I have ever had, certainly in top 10 ever! Chef asked how hot we wanted & personalised it to our tastes, he put his personal stamp.on each dish, my Jalfrezi was wonderful, my wife really enjoyed a slightly spicier tikka.
Une vraie de vraie groupie. Came back for our friend's bday & we had the best time. FOOD & SERVICE WERE OUT OF THIS WORLD (as per usual) EXQUISITE ❤?🔥 Au chef & à toute l'équipe de feu du DARBAR, Merci du plus profond de nos coeurs.
Amazing experience! We celebrated my dad's 60th birthday here & the food was amazing - the chef Simar was so kind & gave us recommendations based on our tastes, things to do in Montreal, & took the time to get to know us! All the food was delicious - we had the most wonderful time & will be coming back again when we visit Montreal.
